These days, it’s common among us hackers to load a stepper motor with forces in-line with their shaft–especially when we couple them to leadscrews or worm gears. Unfortunately, steppers aren’t really ...

Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial loads. They have a tapered inner raceway (called the cone), a tapered outer raceway Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle ...

Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS), a supplier of specialist micro drive systems, will exhibit at the Engineering Design Show ...

Operating conditions and design constraints dictate which type makes sense. Thrust bearings support axial loads on rotating shafts. Designs range from simple, coin-sized flat washers in household ...
